From around the world and beyond, this collection of narrative short films tugs at the heartstings, bringing into question, "what is home?"

Alone in New York, Somali rideshare driver, Abdi, begins his nightshift with the news of a tragedy back home. The faces in the backseat change as he wrestles, unable to connect, with whether the unthinkable can be true—until a vision provides the clarity he seeks. Poetic and lyrical, Brooklyn Park is a modern-day immigrant tale that explores alienation, grief, and transcendence.

WEEKEND

SIN CIELO

Long Ride Home is an exploration into the life of Brandon, an affluent African-American who has clawed tooth and nail to success, resenting anyone not willing to put in the same amount of discipline. However, Brandon’s perspective is challenged during an Uber ride to his old neighborhood.

LONG RIDE HOME

A teenage girl gets involved in the process of delivering a pack of cocaine to its client and gets stuck in a weird cycle of occurrences.

EXAM

A teacher is set to do his daily routine classroom at the school he works, during one of the most difficult days to teach.

Augustus, a literate, escaped slave masquerading as a free man in Massachusetts just prior to the Civil War, experiences nightmares of his son's death and a future America that resembles the struggles of his own time. Shaken to his core, Augustus realizes the horrors of slavery and racial inequality will only continue if he remains complicit. He’s left with one choice: speak up or lose his freedom.
